Written by Brett Riley, this novel follows four friends, tormented by bullies, who find themselves facing monsters and suddenly endowed with powers caused by their own actions. Will they take revenge, or will they save their town?
Y’all, I just could not get into this book. The characters should have been compelling, but just fell short for me. I felt for these four friends who have been bullied, this also shows the dark side of the kids as well, and I just didn’t sympathize with their choice options. I understand choosing someone else over your bullies, but I don’t think bullying the bullies ever gets you very far, and don’t really consider that an option.
The writing was fine, nothing particularly fantastic, but it was a fast-paced and I think you could make it through quickly. The plot is fairly linear, and as an audiobook, other than the narrator being very flat, it is an easy listen when you are doing other things.
If you can make it through the first 10 chapters, then I think you will appreciate this story. Not a book for someone looking for a light-hearted book, romance, or humor, however.
I received a copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
